  • Itani, Wissam (Lebanese American University, 2011-11-16)
    One way the early use of parallel computers has resembled the early use of sequential computers has been the emphasis on numerical algorithms. However, as the field of parallel algorithms matures, the emphasis can be ...
  • Hajj, Hisham (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-13)
    This work presents a parallel algorithm that simulates a neural network. The neural network solves the Clique Partitioning Problem, an NP-complete problem. Clique partitioning is used to solve the Data Path allocation ...
  • Mansour, Nashat; Sleiman Haidar, Ghia (IEEE Xplore, 2018-05-29)
    Exam timetabling is a computationally intractable problem, which requires heuristic techniques for producing good sub-optimal solutions within reasonable execution time. For large numbers of exams and students, sequential ...
  • Younes, Rabih Halim (2015-02-10)
    Power consumption minimization is nowadays considered a main challenge to VLSI designers, especially with the growth of the mobile computing industry. Previous studies have tried minimizing power consumption at the expense ...
  • Harmanani, Haidar M. (2016-04-12)
    This paper presents a parallel algorithm to solve the Clique Partitioning Problem, an NP-complete problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a clique is a complete subgraph in G. The clique partitioning problem is to partition ...
  • Rizk, Mohamad A. (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-25)
    Recent advances in exact algorithm design and multi-processor industry have led to an increasing interest in exact (or optimal) solutions for hard problems. This interest was also motivated by the emergence of parameterized ...
  • Mansour, Nashat; Fox, Geoffrey C. (2016-01-25)
    Three parallel physical optimization algorithms for allocating irregular data to multicomputer nodes are presented. They are based on simulated annealing, neural networks and genetic algorithms. All three algorithms deviate ...
  • Mansour, Nashat; Fox, Geoffrey C. (Springer, 2018-05-24)
    Parallel algorithms, based on simulated annealing, neural networks and genetic algorithms, for mapping irregular data to multicomputers are presented and compared. The three algorithms deviate from the sequential versions ...
  • Haidar, Ghia Abdullah Sleiman (Lebanese American University, 2011-10-27)
    University exam timetabling is an important activity for scheduling exams into predefined days, time periods and rooms. Given a set of constraints, exam timetabling is an NP-Hard problem that requires heuristic techniques ...
  • Kabbara, Rashad Karim (Lebanese American University, 2013-11-18)
    Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have become popular recently due their highly parallel shared-memory architectures. The computational challenge posed by NP-Hard problems makes them potential targets to GPU-based ...
  • Haraty, Ramzi; Rahal, Imad; Furst, Emily (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2018-02-26)
  • Abdalla, Eddie; Schell, Scott (2015-11-09)
    The technique for percutaneous and open neurolytic celiac plexus injection, using ethanol or phenol, for relief of intractable pancreatic cancer pain has been well described. Prospective randomized studies, demonstrating ...
  • Kitagawa, Ryan S.; Mawad, Michel E.; Whitehead, William E.; Curry, Daniel J.; Luersen, Thomas G.; Jea, Andrew (2019-07-09)
    Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) within the spinal canal and in the paraspinal region are unusual. Spinal cord and dural AVMs or arteriovenous fistulas have been the subject of numerous reports, but paraspinal malformations ...
  • Deeb, Mary E.; Zreik, Tony G.; Zalloua, Pierre; Youhanna, Sonia; Platt, Daniel E.; Rebeiz, Abdallah; Lauridsen, Michael; Nasrallah, Antoine; Alam, Samir; Puzantian, Houry; Kabbani, Samer (2016-11-18)
    Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial disease with acquired and inherited components. Aim We investigated the roles of family history and consanguinity on CAD risk and age at diagnosis in ...
  • Takkoush, Ibrahim (Lebanese American University, 2020-06-14)
    Parental involvement in education impacts students’ academic performance and behavior; however, it is faced with several barriers. This study investigates these barriers as well as characteristics and best practices of ...
  • Grey, Ian; Cougham, Barry; Lydon, Helena; HEaly, Olive; Thomas, Justin (2019-03-15)
    Research related to parental satisfaction with early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) remains limited. A 35-item questionnaire called the parental satisfaction scale–EIBI (PSS-EIBI) was developed with four subdomains ...
  • Btaiche, Imad F.; Khalidi, Nabil (2016-10-06)
    Parenteral nutrition is a life-saving therapy for patients with intestinal failure. It may be associated with transient elevations of liver enzyme concentrations, which return to normal after parenteral nutrition is ...
  • Grey, Ian; Lynn, Evelyn; McClean, Brian (2019-03-13)
    This is an exploratory study into parents’ experiences of educational approaches for their children with autism. Fourteen interviews took place, seven with parents whose children were attending a school which provided Early ...
